Dogs developed the ability to follow the gaze of their guardians – meaning that when we look toward something (without pointing or nodding toward it), dogs have learned to recognize that we’re directing their attention toward it. Most other animals don’t follow a human gaze.

Humans love to look into their dogs’ eyes to “read” their emotions. Dogs apparently feel the same. Maybe—just maybe—this reciprocal communication was instrumental in the survival of our species.

"About one foot from the faces of my clients, police also threw this," said bar owner Martin Guimond, holding up an empty muzzle blast.
"They created panic, they destroyed the terrace and people scrambled inside, throwing themselves over each other. Everyone left without paying." A waitress told him to call 911, then said, "But wait, it's the police that are doing this," Guimond recounted.
"That's when you realize there's a total breakdown of order."
